Thanks but there's a pitched-roofed two story building to the south, broadside-on, just a few yards away, I don't believe a dish much lower than the present position would get a signal.
I will try to find a neighbour with a ladder I could borrow. I've looked at hiring one but, with delivery, that would probably cost more than getting a pro to do it!I think you may be surprised. You can get the exact elevation for any location

Enter your postcode, select 28.2E and zoom into the Google earth picture and drag the location your property, don't forget you may get a location as I do on Eastwards facing wall. Make a simple inclinometer marking a piece of card with the elevation using a protractor and a button on a thread as a plumb line to get the card edge vertical. Glue or tape a kitchen roll tube along the elevation line. Stand at the front of your house or in a bedroom, look through the tube in the direction indicated, if you can see the sky a dish should be fine.

Photo of my dish on a NE facing wall. Try ground level in your back garden.
Blimey Graham, I think that's the lowest sighted dish on a property I've ever seen. I would end up knocking myself out on that.
P.S. good to see you're recycling your run off water.
I ain't that tall Can't be seen from the street.
